Bay Friendly Yards

Long Island invented the suburban lawn. It’s time to reinvent it. Let’s plant natives, let’s bring them back. They require no fertilizer or pesticides, no extra water. They are more beautiful, are cheaper to maintain, and they help restore habitat. They also help filter our groundwater before it reaches the bay and our water supply.
